Stomach Cancer

What is it? How and why it happens?

Gastric cancer is a form of stomach cancer caused by uncontrolled growth of the stomach’s inner lining cells. Since the stomach is a hollow cavity, tumour development in the stomach does not cause immediate symptoms. As a result, stomach cancers are normally discovered in advanced stages. Stomach cancers are treatable, and if caught early enough, they can be almost completely cured.

Excessive consumption of spicy foods, chronic acidity, long-term stomach infections, especially H. Pylori infection, daily tobacco and alcohol use, and so on are the main causes of stomach cancer. People in India have a preference for cooking and eating spicy and oily foods.Needless to say, Indian spices are celebrated all over the world; however, excessive and frequent intake of high quantities of spices steadily kills the inner lining of the stomach, increasing the risk of cancer.

Stomach cancer patients are now treated in India with decent results thanks to advances in medical science. Stomach cancer is treated with a multimodality treatment that includes surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Patients with stomach cancer who are diagnosed early will live a long life thanks to the successful treatment options available today.
